There is a lot of difference! It is similar in looks only. I bought the P-350 and tried it for a week. It would slam the bolt back like a semi (no pumping required) The forearm pins started to work loose due to the violent action function. I returned it to Russell's (deemed unsafe) and bought the Nova on the spot. No firing issues with the Nova even after being dunked into muck, with me following close after.

thanks accubond that is good to know, so all and all are you pleased with your nova ?

I've been shooting a Nova for the past few years. It's been good. No problems at all. Been out in some crappy weather and is showing no weakness yet.

im in the same boat as accubond, p-350 is rough, go benelli, nice an smooth and not that expensive, i dont even think there is much of a price differnce is there

o ya like accubond said if it gets dunked in much clean it off in the pond bye dunken it in the water and shoots like its new buddy does it, and get the super nova i believe its the latest nova

Super pleased. No issues with about 250-300 rounds through it. (skeet shooting is fun) I guess the Super Nova is the latest rendition of this shotgun. Either regular or Super would do fine for me.
